Road Madness drops you into a adventure challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. Think racing, car and shooting — that is the shape of it. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.

How to play Road Madness
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |

Why it is worth playing
